New trailer for Attack On Titan 2 reveals a March 20 release date
Koei Tecmo has plans to launch another Attack On Titan game in North America next year, and a newly-released trailer has revealed that Attack On Titan 2 will be available for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2018.
The sequel will give players the chance to create their own character, along with an RPG-like relationship mechanic, and new playable characters from the anime series:
Players will be able to create their own custom Scout in Attack On Titan 2, an all-new addition to the series, offering a fresh perspective on the events of both seasons of the worldwide anime hit, Attack On Titan. With enhanced Titan movements, Scouts will have to strategically use a plethora of new abilities in order to survive; from evade-style attacks like the hook drive ability, to long-range sneak attacks – carefully strategized with the help of the new monocular tool!
Additional RPG elements have been implemented into Attack On Titan 2’s Town Life segments; allowing players to build relationships with their favorite characters from the Attack on Titan universe to gain a deeper understanding of their comrades.
Additional playable characters for Attack On Titan 2 include: Hitch Dreyse, Marlo Freudenberg, Mina Carolina, Nile Dawk, Thomas Wagner, Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt Hoover, Reiner Braun, the Armored Titan, the Colossal Titan, the Female Titan, and a “Mysterious Titan” form.

2K Games has announced that WWE 2K18 will be available to download through the Nintendo eShop beginning tomorrow, December 6. Switch owners will be able to choose from a Standard Edition with the Kurt Angle Pack ($59.99), or a Digital Deluxe Edition that’s also bundled with the Kurt Angle Pack, as well as the Season Pass and the Cena (Nuff) Pack ($89.99).

A complete rundown of WWE 2K18’s downloadable content offerings (and there are a lot) can be found at the game’s official website.
Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will be released for Switch in Spring 2018
Capcom had one more announcement to make as part of their “Mega Man 30th Anniversary Celebration” livestream, and it’s one that should make Switch owners very happy. After skipping Nintendo’s Wii U the first time around, the publisher confirmed that Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will be released for the Switch in Spring 2018.
Additionally, Capcom said that both games will offer Amiibo support, and the first Mega Man Legacy Collection will receive a new Rewind option “to go back in time following blunders.” The Rewind feature will also be added to the game on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One as a free update.

Capcom officially announces Mega Man 11
It’s finally happening! After years of letting the character wander in the wilderness, Capcom has announced that Mega Man 11 will be released for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch in Late 2018. Developed by an internal team at Capcom, and utilizing a modern art style, the publisher will reveal more information about the next entry in the side-scrolling franchise over the Summer (presumably during the 2018 E3 Expo).
You can check out the truly impressive Announcement Trailer embedded above to get your first sneak peek at the game, and you can tune in to the “Mega Man 30th Anniversary Celebration” on Capcom’s Twitch channel to eavesdrop on a discussion with the developers.
Mega Man X Collection coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018
Capcom is hosting a special “Mega Man 30th Anniversary Celebration” on their Twitch channel today, and the publisher kicked things off in fine fashion with the announcement of a Mega Man X Collection.
The collection will include all eight games from the Mega Man X franchise (yes, even the much-hated Mega Man X7), and it’ll be released for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Summer 2018.
UPDATE: In a press release, Capcom said that multiple Mega Man X games will be released in 2018. This could be a typo, or it could also mean that Capcom is planning to release the eight games in the franchise across several compilations or as individual downloads.

Super Mario Cereal is coming… and it includes an Amiibo powerup for Super Mario Odyssey
Nintendo is teaming up with Kellogg’s to create Super Mario Cereal, a new “mixed berry cereal” that also includes Mario-themed marshmallows. The “limited edition” cereal will start appearing in stores sometime around December 11.
Super Mario Odyssey fans will be particularly interested in this cereal, as each box will include an Amiibo Card that unlocks bonus Coins and Hearts in the game.
“This powered-up partnership with Kellogg’s is another exciting way for us to expand the Nintendo brand in unique and creative ways,” said Tom Prata, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. “We are always looking for new opportunities to bring smiles to people of all ages, and this is a fun way to kick off the day.”
“We are thrilled to pack so much fun into one box of cereal,” said Brad Schwan, the Senior Director of Morning Foods Marketing. “The package adds value and excitement for fans, with marshmallow shapes in the cereal inspired by Super Mario power-ups to tie the theme together.”
If you’re over 30, there’s a good chance you remember the first time Nintendo has got into the cereal business. In 1986, the consolemaker partnered with Ralston to produce the Nintendo Cereal System, which was actually two cereals in one box. After opening the top, fans found Mario-themed fruit pieces in one bag, and Zelda-themed berry pieces in another. I quite enjoyed it as a kid, and unopened boxes even appear on eBay from time to time.
